Diagnostic performance of intracardiac echogenic foci for Down syndrome: a meta-analysis*1

1 May 2003

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To synthesize the accumulated data on the diagnostic performance of intracardiac echogenic foci for Down syndrome, a meta-analysis was performed. DATA SOURCES: We conducted MEDLINE and EMBASE searches (1985 to August 2002) using the key words "intracardiac (echogenic) focus/foci," "golfballs," "trisomy 21," and "Down syndrome." Bibliographies of retrieved articles were also screened, and experts were...
